I know I have stated over and over that I have never liked, nor even truly respected, historical fiction, but the more Heyer I read, the more I realize that this prejudice has as much to do with the specimens I had read rather than the genre as a whole. The Masqueraders is not only my favorite Heyer book so far (including the contemporaries that I love so well), but might well be the best book I have read this year. Madrazo painted two additional portraits of his “Pierrette”; one in 1878 (Fig. 4) and another much later in 1893 (Fig. 14). The costume is generally the same in all three paintings, but makes a useful comparison for how fashion changes over time – and how artists concede to the mode. What was earlier a ruched overskirt and pleated underskirt in late 1870s fashion are now smooth, gored expanses of satin in 1890s fashion. Her hair is now frizzed into curly bangs, and her shoes have also changed – they are now late Victorian heels, and she has cast her 18th century mules aside on the floor next to her. The garments in this painting were most likely custom-made and sewn by hand. Such costumes were to be worn at brilliant parties that celebrated decadence and indulgence and complied to an extravagant theme (Fig. 16). These parties often strayed as far as possible from reality, allowing not only women but also men to abandon their customary dress and exchange it for something grand and otherworldly. It was in this capacity that couture houses first made clothing for men. These men often commissioned their costumes from their wives’ and lovers’ couturiers (De La Haye 111-117).

The clothing shown in this portrait is not an example of high fashion for the time the painting was done. Since these two were attending a masquerade ball, all guests were dressed in costume. Masquerade clothing, or ‘fancy dress’, from this period was often representative of animals, objects, and themes from nature, including astronomical phenomena and plants. It also commonly looked to the past for inspiration, resulting in costumes drawn from previous eras or from fairy tales. Costumes for these balls, attended by the wealthiest portion of society, were elaborate and decadent.

His father, Federico, was also a painter, and Madrazo’s early work complied with the family tradition of historic painting (Burón). Influenced by the Belgian artist Alfred Stevens, his brother-in-law Mariano José Bernardo Fortuny y Marsal, and the ambiance of Paris, Madrazo traded the dry academic scenes for the tableautin – the small and intimate genre paintings for which he is now well-known (Art Experts). He concentrated on this type of painting in his thirties and it became a high point in his career during which many of his paintings sold to American collectors for high prices (Burón).

Open chests in the EDZ with full New Monarchy Sovereign armor equipped and while pledged to New Monarchy. One key accessory in Masqueraders is the woman’s mask, called a moretta. Masks were an extremely popular accessory for costume balls like this (Fig. 15), and they originated in Venice in the 15th century. Venetians were permitted to wear masks in-between Christian holidays, and celebrated the ideas of disguise, mystery, and concealed identity intertwined with everyday life (Buchart). Gloves, jewelry, and elaborate headpieces that coordinated with the costumes were also common accessories.

Prudence and her Sir Anthony’s romance is more complicated, I think, since not only does Anthony have to puzzle out the truth of the “stripling” Peter’s true gender, he has to contend with some initial concerns about his own sexuality, which you can tell he’s never questioned before meeting the faux Mr. Merriot. Tall and quiet, his “sleepy” eyes hiding a formidable intelligence, Sir Anthony not only catches on to Prue’s ruse (hehe, Prue’s ruse) pretty early on, he also keeps it from her that he knows, so that she is never sure exactly where she stands with him. Heyer is magnificent in drawing Sir Anthony’s character slowly but consistently, so that we always guess at his motives and knowledge, until he tells us – and Prue – himself.
